How to Choose the Right PCB Functional Testing Methods for Your Production Needs
In today's rapidly evolving electronics industry, the importance of stringent quality control measures cannot be overstated, particularly when it comes to PCB functional testing. As per a recent industry report from IPC, nearly 70% of manufacturers believe that effective functional testing can significantly reduce costs associated with product failures and recalls. With the global printed circuit board market projected to exceed $100 billion by 2026, selecting the right testing methods is crucial to ensure reliability, performance, and compliance with industry standards. Various testing techniques, such as in-circuit testing (ICT), automated optical inspection (AOI), and functional testing, each offer unique benefits and challenges. This guide aims to navigate through these options, helping manufacturers align their production needs with the appropriate PCB functional testing methods, ultimately enhancing their product quality and market competitiveness.
